While it sounds a little crazy for the Oscar-winning actor to hitchhike across the U.S., Leto insisted that the trip is legitimate. “This isn’t a gag,” he said. “I’m actually doing this.”

Though he didn’t get into the specifics, Leto said he hopes to ride some donkeys in the Grand Canyon and catch a lift in a hot air balloon. But his first jump on departing 30 Rock was provided by A$AP Rocky.

The trip will culminate with 30 Seconds to Mars performing in Los Angeles on April 6 — that is, if someone is willing to pick up a hitchhiker who looks like Jared Leto.
